Description

Discover the soul of Chuncho cacao in a hands-on sensory workshop that connects flavor, culture, and sustainability. Guided by experts, you’ll explore every stage of the tree-to-bar journey, beginning with the fresh cacao fruit and ending with a fine chocolate bar. Along the way, you’ll smell, touch, and taste cacao in its many forms — fruit, nibs, paste, and chocolate with different percentages. Step into the role of a chocolatier and learn how to temper and craft your very own chocolate bar. Personalize it with a wide variety of toppings, from goldenberries and quinoa to roasted sacha inchi, Mara’s salt, tarwi, cañihua, kiwicha, and other local fruits and seeds. This workshop goes beyond flavor. Every bite tells the story of the producing communities of Ivochote, Quillabamba, Cusco, whose traditions, languages, and farming methods are preserved through cacao. By joining, you support sustainable agriculture, biodiversity, and small Peruvian farmers — while creating a chocolate bar that is uniquely yours. Two schedules to choose from: daily in the morning at 10 am or the afternoon at 3:30 pm.
